American Vernacular


I thought about photographing this trailer which is on the property of the old Long Island Lighting Company, after I drove by it one night and saw it illuminated by a single floodlight.  I have no idea what the trailer is used for, but it does seem funny that they shine a light on it all night!  There is something just a bit odd to have a trailer all by itself, and then, I guess because of security concerns, that you light it up.  So "American Vernacular" is a term that Stan and I use all the time.  To us it means something about an object or a building that is common all over the United States and that is interesting to look at, so we photograph these objects or buildings or old phone booths or old advertising signs that have been abandoned..
